## House Passes $95 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a $95 billion legislative package on Saturday, providing security assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. The bill garnered broad bipartisan support despite objections from some Republican hardliners.

The legislation now moves to the Senate, which is expected to pass it next week. President Biden will then sign it into law.

The package includes $60.84 billion for Ukraine, $26 billion for Israel, and $8.12 billion for the Indo-Pacific. It also includes sanctions, a potential ban on the Chinese-owned social media app TikTok, and the possibility of transferring seized Russian assets to Ukraine.

The White House urged Congress to quickly pass the package, stating that it would send a powerful message about American leadership.

Some Republicans opposed the bill, arguing that the U.S. cannot afford it due to its rising national debt. However, former President Donald Trump voiced support for the package, stating that Ukraine's survival is important for the U.S.
